2008 toyota camry hybrid floor became wet due to roof drain hoses becoming disconnected from drain pan. Consumer feels this should have been covered under warranty. Consumer also found a tsb issued in april 2011.
2002 camry le,50k miles always pulls to left. Has been to dealer and various shops. Steering wheel shudders and vibrates at any and all speeds. Problem is structural. Brakes are constant problem. Sunroof will not seal correctly therefore rear floor is now wet. Now experiencing electrical problems. Would have been better off buying a 1950 studebaker! And gm is in trouble? Last toyota for me. Car is unsafe.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 toyota camry. While driving 30 MPH, the overhead compartment directly above the rearview mirror came down and struck the contact in the eye. The glasses she was wearing prevented the injury from being severe. The contact pulled off the road and learned that the cover to the compartment and the mechanism that controls the sunroof failed. She was able to close the compartment until she returned home, but it would not completely latch back together. The sunroof has never been used. The current and failure mileages were 54,000. Updated 09/10/08 *bf updated 09/11/08
In heavy humid, hard raining weather, the dehumidifier, air-conditioning unit ceases to operate and a green light flashes. I completely fog up while driving.
On two separate occasions the windshield has been broken by low impact road debris thrown up by another vehicle. I have experienced stronger impacts in other vehicles with no or considerably less damage.
Strong glare in windshield due to reflection of sunlight off top of dash above instrument panel. This is very distracting to see through during bright sunlight and makes driving dangerous.
While driving in inclement weather water would come in from the windshield and leaked down from the windshield onto foot board. The gas and brake pedals became slippery. Driver took vehicle to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the windshield needed to be replaced. Driver informed the mechanic that this problem still occurred ,and had not been resolved.
